Sing Street - BAND • Nederlands Filmhuis Denhaag

Sing Street

Boy meets girl. Boy starts a band. The '80s do the rest.

Dublin, 1985. When teenage Conor is transferred to a rough new school, music becomes his escape from family troubles and schoolyard bullies. Hoping to impress the mysterious Raphina, he claims to be in a band and promptly sets about forming one. Inspired by the sounds and styles of the decade, Conor and his friends discover that making music might be their ticket to a different life.

Getting the Band Back Together

Music brings us together. Whether that’s from Amsterdam to The Hague, from one end of the Grote Marktstraat to the other, or in a high school bathroom, outside the closed doors of your favourite band’s concert, or at a barn with vampires lurking outside. That's why this November, Filmhuis Den Haag, Melkweg and PAARD are striking the same chord to present GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER: a joint film programme celebrating bands in all shapes, sizes and genres.
